Masamuneâ:
The blade really was trying to give the younger the benefit of the doubt, and every sentient weapon was difference, especially their preferences and everything. It was a huge change from the youngerâs ancestorâs simply not listening to him as this time around, he looked back to see the taller male adjusting what he did based on the elderâs suggestion. Leaning against anything and he was fine with that as it would help out immensely but he also stayed quiet once his master agreed to do so but also gave a good counter argument which made sense. However as the younger mentioned the sheath and how he despised it, Masamune tensed up and froze for a split second before returning to normal, sighing out as he frown and shook his head. Even if it wasnât a normal scabbard that the others had used in the past and was simply a small but very detailed loop, it still terrified him greatly. One fear that he would never get over and it showed.
âI knowâŚâŚ..but better that weâre finally getting to this now instead of me exploding on you down the line. The sheathâŚ.that will be a last last resort more then anything, since before that you can place me back inside you and that works as well.â So those were the last options in case nothing else worked as the elder continued on. âSo if possible, try to lean me instead of burying me into the ground. But if there is no place to lean me against, if your simply too exhausted or injured, then thatâs when you can place me in the groundâŚ..I guess. AlthoughâŚ..â Thinking more, Masamune then rubbed his chin as an idea came to him.
âBefore that thoughâŚ.if there is no place to lean me, then I can simply transform and just stand guard or something if that will help out better. Especially if your exhausted and need someone to lean against to recover your energyâŚ..â How many options was that now? âSo in order from preferred to last last resort: Leaning me against a building or object, letting me transform if possible, stabbing me into the ground, laying me on the ground, bringing me back inside you and finallyâŚ..â He had to gulp a bit as he spoke. ââŚ.last last resort would be the sheath.â
The only real issue he had with manifesting him for something like that was that the duration was so short that manifesting and instantly returning would be taxing, but if it was the preference of his partner he would do it. It was similar to absorbing him only to resummon him moments later, it didnât make sense, more then that it was taxing, far moreso then many would ever realize. He was a powerful mage, but he was not a summoner, Shiva was really the only esper he called upon and that was few and far between for the same reason, true magic was not like materia, it was both far stronger and far more exhausting.
It was times like this he wished he could use Materia, even if he despised most Materia.
âI made you a promise years ago, and that promise will never be broken, I will never put you in a sheath unless you are so damaged that it is for your reparations.â A sheath, not a normal one but the one that Masamune used, was more then a container it was infused with magicks that repaired him, and it was only ever used when Masamune was so damaged a simple whetstone, reforging was a possiblity as well but it wasnât one he liked to imagine, after all a sentient weapon was not normal steel.
âIf you do not mind manifesting for small periods that is acceptable, although thinking on it just because we cannot be too far apart does not mean you cannot stay awake at most times. I believe I should start using you the way I did during our days at ShinRa, when you being awake, and manifested, was the norm rather then the exception. After all, we are not travelling constantly now.â
